Say My Name in Your Sleep

Peters' second studio album, The Good Witch, was released in 2023. The genres featured in the album were predominantly pop-oriented, however, she was hopeful that people would notice the maturity developed in her songwriting between The Good Witch and her debut album, You Signed Up for This (2021). Alongside numerous tours, Peters opened for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium on 19 August 2024. Peters was then set to support Kelsea Ballerini on her North American arena tour, but pulled out. She cited prioritising her mental health as one of the main reasons for doing so, as well as wanting to complete her third studio album to the best of her ability. Peters returned to music in October 2025 with the dual release of "Audrey Hepburn" and "You You You". They acted as the dual lead singles from her upcoming third studio album. She subsequently performed two shows in London and New York, titled Before the Bloom, where she played new, unreleased material. ==Composition and lyrics==

"Say My Name in Your Sleep" marks the first collaboration between Peters and fellow folk singer-songwriter Marcus Mumford, with more confirmed to follow on Florescence (2026). She recalled writing the song with Mumford at Real World Studios in "deep winter" with "something magical and spooky in the air there", which she believed had translated into the sound of the track. As well as co-writing the track, Mumford also has co-producing credits and provided backing vocals. Australian singer-songwriter and frequent collaborator Gretta Ray also provided backing vocals, as well as regular contributor Ian Fitchuk co-producing. It was loosely inspired by the 1938 novel Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, with CelebMix noting the "mature, literary-leaning sound" of the track. Peters added: "It's about having a tiny, secret sliver of your heart that still, deep down, hopes and prays they think of you – just a little, just when it's dark, just when they hear that song on the radio. It's about letting go, begrudgingly, but letting your shadow linger a moment too long." ==Credits and personnel==
